We're Mark and Mel and after working hard and raising great children, we're now living out our goal adventure of boating on America's Great Loop. America's Great Loop is a continuous waterway that includes rivers and canals, connected by locks, approximately 6,000 miles from the Great Lakes and Canadian waterways, down the inland rivers of America's heartland, to the Gulf of Mexico, and back up the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterways to wherever you began. Follow us to find out what to do, and what not do, while navigating through waterways, towns and cities along the way in the eastern USA and Canada.

I can’t believe how rough it was at your mooring! Ugh. Were you worried about the mooring breaking loose, or isn’t that a concern as it is with an anchor? In any case, sleeping can’t have been very easy. 😬😳🥱
What is the plan to get back to Paradise if dinghy has issues that won't allow you to return 🤔. Is rowboat available all along river syste.?
You look like stevey nicks
Shawn Rhymes here. What, no barber chair today? LOL Again I enjoyed the video the scenery was nice and the music went well with the video. Is that "to be continued" for next season LOL I'll have to get LinkedIn to that. Thanks for posting this video.
👍Special Tip: Make sure you don't miss the Historical Museum (it was no charge to us, we just donated) in downtown Titusville! There are all kinds of historic items from the area, including prehistoric info, local native, local astronaut high school info and albums and info on the local settlement and expansion of this area. Here's their website when planning your visit. 👍northbrevardhistoricalmuseum.org/th-cam.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f44d.png
Shawn Rhymes here, and yes, I enjoyed this video. The scenery was nice. Especially the barber chair. Anybody need a haircut? My apologies. I thought I subscribed to your channel some time ago, but when I checked, I saw that I didn't, so I did you yesterday. I've had a lot on my mind. Thanks for posting this video.
We really appreciate you subscribing and watching Shawn!!😎
Shawn Rhymes here, and I'm still enjoying your TH-cam videos. I liked your gator story. I've seen 1 not long before COVID. We're in September now. The years seem to go by quicker as we age. I've been watching your TH-cam videos for a while now, and there's a You Tube video I'd like you to watch and share with your family and friends. Your grandchildren will love what I did with the old Christmas classic T'was The Night Before Christmas. I adapted for the 21st century. I've titled it: The Night Before Christmas 21st C by Shawn Rhymes. One of the things I did was replace the pipe with milk and cookies. Thanks for watching it and sharing it. I'm looking forward to hearing about your thoughts on it. Thanks for posting this video on TH-cam, I'm looking forward to watching episode 29.
We watched a Space Shuttle launch from Hwy 1 just outside the entrance to Kennedy Space Center years ago. Don't know how far it was to the pad, but the ground really shook during the launch
Wow! You were really close to the launch from your location and we bet you felt the ground shake!
@@MarkandMel LOL. The ground was shaking before we could hear or see it. Speed in a solid over speed in air.
How cool to be able to catch the launch! What a great experience. Your camera kept catching signage reading “Cocoa Beach,” and every time I saw those words I can’t help but be hoping to see Major Nelson and Jeannie. 😂😂😂
Haha, we kept remembering Major Nelson and Jeannie also!😂
Next come on a golf cart tour with me @port st joe golf cart tours! Learn the history
Oh my gosh! That would have been a great way to learn the history of that area. We will be sure and take your golf cart tour in the future, thanks!!
@MarkandMel @MarkandMel definitely reach out i will even come pick you up!
I dub the "slappy!" Love it. 😀
Haha right?! 😅👌😎
I know you guys aren't in Florida any more but next time, if you shop at a Publix, their deli counter makes the best sub sandwiches you've ever had. The subs are famous all over the south. We buy groceries for the boat and a couple of sandwiches to take back for dinner. It beats boat cooking.
Oh my gosh! That's such a great share that I will pin and highlight this comment! We LOVE fresh Deli sandwiches! Thanks for the info!!! 👍
A line from the starboard rear to a cleat about 10 ft or more aft of Paradise instead of the line coming thru at the aft of Paradise will help cut down on sloppiness.
That's great info! Yes!!🙌😎
Talking about the Aston Martin residences, you had me curious. So I google it and you are not far off. $1.3 million to $14 million 😅
It's still out of our budget but thanks for sharing lol 😎
Some gorgeous videography in this episode! 👍
Thanks so much Kari! It's hard not to get beautiful scenery in that area, for sure 👌😉
Dancing dolphins!! What fun to have them all congregating around you and playing and sounding like Flipper. 💕 🐬 😊
Right? We felt like it was our own private show! Check out the latest video we dropped about Titusville! The dolphins were at the marina every day ( a mom and baby) and would swim fast along the wall as we walked there, looking up at us the whole time! So cool!
Shawn Rhymes here, and again I enjoyed the video. I came up with a cute lady bug joke over a year ago. Do you know what you call a male lady bug? Answer: transgender. I get a lot of laughs out of that joke, as well as the jokes that I have come up with. Let me know if you like my joke, and thank you for posting this video.
We just saw our 3rd ladybug on the entire loop yesterday!! There's just many more birds along the loop for sure! Thanks for watching!!
@@MarkandMel do you know if it was a male lady bug? 😃 LOL
The reason I told the lady bug joke, is because you mentioned seeing a lot of lady bugs in this episode.
Just saw your video tonight for the first time, I live in Melbourne and hit most of those eateries in the village, there is all kind of activities there and that old theater is great.
That's awesome! There were so many more we wanted to try but only got to about 4 eateries in 2 days lol! Next time we will stay longer for sure, even if we anchor out also!
Mark is a man of patience. 😂
Welcome to my home town!
Wow! Lucky you!
🚀They cancelled the rocket launch we waited for, the 1st night at Cocoa😭But the next night the launch was successful and we'll share how well you can see the launch from the free dock at Cocoa Village, in the next video!👍🚀
What a dolphin thrill!
Absolutely 💯 👍🐬
What an incredible Farmers Market! Almost makes me want to hop in the car and drive there. Almost. 😂
Right?! 😅It really was the biggest and best we have seen on the loop!
Shawn Rhymes here. Again I enjoyed the video. However I would have liked seeing a little more of the oil change. The oil pumping system impressed me. A foot note: did you know that peanut oil was the first fuel used in diesel engines? I was shocked when I found out while watching a video on the history of the diesel engines on TH-cam. Thanks for posting this video.
Great suggestion! Thanks for sharing that info too!
Thank you for your efforts at recording what there is to do on the hard ! The statuary & art decor is fascinating as was the Farmers Market !
Glad you enjoyed it! We're trying to share not only how to get there and spots to go on the loop but what there is to do there!
Just awesome!! 🌴☀️
It really is! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Whenever we take our RV to St. Andrew's State Park in Panama City Beach, I have always wondered what do people living on the boats do in these situations? Now I no longer have to wonder! 😄Thank you for this information! I am so intrigued! 😂
Haha...there you go! Literally LOL! Thanks for watching and commenting! We need to catch up on your videos!!
Mel is worried about the slings, Mark is eating a banana 😮
It's Good to See Two Gene X Still Rockin It,,,,
New Subscriber! Enjoyed the video 😄Empty nesters are rocking this TH-cam thing! I love to see it😁And what an amazing way to travel! I had no idea!
Love it!🙌Thanks for subscribing and watching!🫶
Saw y'all in Aldi today in Stuart. Didn't know about your youtube channel until I got home tonight. Happy accidents. Your channel popped up. We are all sad about the sale of Frances Langford's property. Just awful, but couldn't be helped by us regulars. Full of multiple huge homes now and still building😢 So happy you visited the museum, feed store. We love our Stuart!
I've have a 1987 Hatteras.... and never have a problem. The answer is Isolation Transformer. With Isolation Transformers, there is no physical connection between the boats electrical system, and the dock. The power is inductively transferred to the boat. A very worthwhile investment.
We had some friends who are electrical engineers take a look and they found the ground wire and we're all good now!
Cool museum with a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable docent! Maybe you two should resurrect those “house kits” and sell them for your next real estate venture (although you likely couldn’t price them at $1995 anymore 😂)
Great idea! Mark and Mel Kit Homes!😂❤
@@MarkandMel Yes!!
What a great marina that was! Everything you could possibly want and need AND coffee. Perfect. ☕️😀👍
Right🤗☕️
Just saw the crew of Andromeda on the same pier on their video today. They had just gotten back from the Bahamas. Think the whole point of them doing the loop was to go to the Bahamas on their boat!
They SO wanted to take Andromeda to the Bahamas that I don't think their done doing that!😅👍
Wow, I missed so much as a college student there and I miss what was there then that's now gone. Evinrude/Langford estate was still there then. Couldn't see it from the road, but we did go to the Outrigger a few times. Was the Benihana still there? It would have been on the left either right before or after you crossed the St Lucia river. There's a great interactive marine exhibit on Hutchinson Is and House of Refuge heading on that small road to sailfish point should have been on the list to visit. If you missed them, I guess you'll just have to do the loop again!
So many great things that we didn't have time to see! We'll just have to go back!😉👍
Benihana is still there. You can still see the Langford estate area from the river, big houses there now. I go to the Dolohin Bar often...her place.
The Evinrude/Langford beach property sold many years ago.
Must see, House of Refuge...since you're still here if you have the time.
And Elliott museum...that's a nice visit as well.
Here is info on the House Of Refuge Museum which we wish we had visited: www.getyourguide.com/stuart-l209207/stuart-elliott-museum-house-of-refuge-entry-tickets-t725842/
And the next leg is . . . ? There is a show called Texas Country Reporter that details 2 or 3 quiet, out of the way , stories about people & places & Texas culture that most people know nothing about . Each episode is only 30 minutes long .. It is a lot like that you tube channel called - yep - Mark & Mel ! I heartily recommend both channels as a productive way spend a few relaxing minutes away from the busy hub-bubble of modern life !
Next leg is...Ft Pierce!😉Thanks so much for following and sharing our channel! 😊 We will check out that other channel too👍
6:11 on nice days, this "beach" is lined with skis and boats too. Sometimes just stopping for a quick break and kids are always climbing those cliffs which im not so sure is a good idea but mine did it a few times. This area is usually pretty busy and a few spots along the way north as well as this is a very fishing and boating area with many side roads on the water.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds fun!!
Shawn Rhymes here. For the most part I've enjoyed this video. The cliffs reminds me of the rock layers of the aftermath of the eruption of Mount Saint Helens in the state of Washington. The rock layers formed in hours, not thousands of years as some scientists would have us believe. Concerning your prop, I just put more than a grand into my vehicle that has 236,000 miles on it. Thanks for posting this video.
You can punch Mark now that the camera is off. Watch the 1st actual loop video from the Boomershines. They talk about the shrimp and the noise they make. Since it's now August, this tip won't help much unless you go back again. Just north of Jupiter Inlet is Blowing Rocks state park. If you time rough sea conditions with a high tide you get the ocean blasting up through holes in the reef. Use to be free, but last time I was there they charged and they'd had a storm that covered a lot of it in sand. You can still get to it without paying. Park in the last beach lot before the vegetation starts on the east side of the road and walk along the beach 1/2 to 3/4 mile. It's worth the price if the conditions are right. Definite skip if they're not
Hahaha! Right?! I told Mark, and he laughed lol. He's starting to wear those hearing aids now 👌😉Those places sound so great to visit! We will just have to come back and explore some more!!
I noticed pedals on the complimentary bikes . Did the marina have e-bikes available at the same rate or did they require a deposit ? On a side note , how many loopers use wheelchairs on land ? My wife & I .are thinking about trying to do the loop at a future date but her ability to walk is limited due to multiple sclerosis..How much cheaper are mooring balls than a marina ?
The only bikes they had to check out were not electric but they were free to use. We also have heard of people have partners of captains that were in wheel chairs but we have not personally met them. Also, the mooring balls are much cheaper (so far they have been $20/night to $50/ night.
You were in our stomping grounds. My wife and I live in Stuart, right where you turn off the ICW to head into Stuart. All the boats going north and south on the ICW go right by our place, and we see all the boats going in and out of the St. Lucie Inlet. We love it there. Downtown Stuart is a charming village. I hope you tried one (or more) of the many excellent restaurants there -- in fact the restaurant at your marina, Sailor's Return, is one of our favorites. We go there by boat regularly during the winter. Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting! We enjoyed your stomping grounds so much and we also did try a few of the restaurants in Stuart! We will definitely be back!!👍
I wonder if rain-x works on eisenglass? I haven’t driven my boat in the rain yet but I can see that being a problem.
We read that they DO make a product like rain x but we just had the front panels replaced and it's alot better to see theough! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
That stretch is where we spend most of our time. between the palm beach and Boynton inlets. Peanut island and the adjacent sandbar is a super popular spot where people bring their boats and skis and hang.
How cool! What is the best time of year for hanging around Peanut Island?
@@MarkandMel Whenever it's nice out the whole island is usually surrounded by tied off boats and skis. locals get to partake too via a shuttle that runs constantly and you can camp overnight there. The snorkeling at blue heron right next to it is also a big deal to go when its clear (relatively speaking).
I can't believe I have spent the entire day watching your channel. LOL. Ugly rainy day
Hahaha, that sounds like a perfect thing to do on an ugly rainy day! ;) Thanks for watching!!
3:37 I'm glad this experience is behind you now, glad you didn't watch a bunch of Yacht hoisting vids beforehand. Edit: I kept watching and was getting nervous along with you, and then you said you were going to get off the boat. Excellent decision, now I can relax too, and watch the rest of the video. 😄
Haha, yes not our favorite ride in the world! Thanks for still watching! ;)
Over $4 a gallon for fuel. Thank you, Joe Biden.
